A Savannah trucking company is out thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, and police are asking for the public's help in identifying the thieves.

On Dec. 13, officers were called to the 400 block of Bourne Avenue after receiving a call about a stolen truck. They were told a Kenworth truck full of thousands of dollars worth of roofing shingles had been taken.

This was the second such theft in three months.

Both trucks were eventually left abandoned and empty on I-95 in the Richmond Hill area. The value of the shingles is approximately $25,000, each truck-load.

Savannah-Chatham forensics staff examined the trucks, and a news release from the department said detectives are actively following up on leads, but are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the thieves. .

Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at (912) 234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

Seems like a lot of crimes have been ending in RIchmond Hill lately. Not that I am surprised with the hotels having rent by the week rooms for all these crooks and drug addicts. To bad they cant do criminal history backgrounds before giving them rooms. I know I would NEVER stay at any of the hotels on Hwy 17 in Richmond Hill, they are full of these kind of low class people. If the owners/managers would get off their butts and walk around a little bit they could tell the good guests from the bad. Just their ID showing a local address and them staying there week after week should throw up a red flag. They are either hiding from the law or selling drugs, or both! Hello!
